Revised: Wednesday, March 28/2007

Each Minnesota West campus has a Library and Academic Resource Center (LARC), which supports the curriculum, students, and staff of its campus.

The LARC houses the following services:

• Library
  Minnesota West has approximately 80,000 items cataloged and over 200 periodical (magazines and scholarly journals) subscriptions at the libraries. The library web site provides access to books, journal articles, reference websites and library services. An overnight courier delivery system moves library materials between campuses. Interlibrary loan for books and periodical articles not owned by Minnesota West is provided through the MINITEX system.

  Library staff provides reference and user instruction on all campuses and to our distance learners. Each library has open computer and printer access, a photocopy machine, and study facilities designed to create an inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating, individual carrels, and group study areas.
  

• Tutoring
  Individualized and small group tutoring is available for students on all campuses. Students use tutoring services in the LARC to receive assistance in oral and written communication skills, math, reading skills, study skills, and technical tutoring.

  SMARTHINKING, a live online tutoring service, is available to students at anytime, and from anywhere. Students needing assistance in math, economics, accounting, chemistry, physics, Spanish, and statistics will receive real-time assistance from e-structors by linking to SMARTHINKING through the Minnesota West website. SMARTHINKING also includes an online writing lab, allowing students to submit drafts of writing assignments for assistance in revisions.

•  Career Center
  Career Services include career counseling, resume assistance, job application, and job placement. These services are provided at no charge to Minnesota West students, graduates, alumni, and employers.
